Oracle, what does my future hold?
Hi! English isn't my first language, please let me know what I need to correct :)
01. Name Mercedes
02. LJ Username sherbetdrop
03. How did you find out about the Percy Jackson series? I saw the movie trailer while I was waiting in line at a pharmacy. I thought it looked pretty cool, so, I googled it as soon as I got home. When I found out it was based on a series of books, I got my hands on the first one. I loved it so much I read the 5 books in little over a week! Then I remembered about the movie and went to see the trailer again... I wanted to kick something afterwards... u_u
the oracle
04. What do you wish to accomplish in life? I wish I could travel a lot, and starting a life in a country other than my own really appeals to me. Most of all, I wish to be able to stand on my own two feet and learnt to be less dependent on others. I think if I lived abroad in a way I'd be forced to accomplish this. I'm already studying in another province, so it's a start! And, related to this, I want to learn as many languages as I can.
05. What type of magical object would you like to have? I'd like to have a ring that could produce a shield of some sort. I don't want a weapon because I'm not the sort of person who'd just charge at something, I'm the typical healer/barrier-maker of RPGs. Also, rings are less suspiscious than other items, and I just love them.
06. What makes you like or dislike a person? I like educated, well-mannered people. I really like fun people who can make me laugh without being jerks or making rude jokes. I insantly take a dislike to people who start an acquaintance by bragging loudly about something or other, acting like they don't care about other people's opinion and wanting to attract attention to themselves that way.
07. Are you a leader or a follower? I'm more of a follower, sometimes I find it tough to make a decision quickly (and I believe that is a very important trait in a good leader).
08. What would you consider your fatal flaw? I lack iniative. Like I said earlier, I tend to be more of a follower and I could end up missing great opportunities because of that. Also, it makes me too dependent on others.
09. What do you think are your top five best qualities? 01. Loyal - I'll stick by those I love through and through, and help them in whatever way I can.
02. Hard working - Even though I may lack talent in many areas, I'll work hard to be up to par with what's required.
03. Eager to learn - When I don't know how to do something, I'll try to learn how to do it, and properly.
06. Open minded - I always try to understand and accept other people's point of view, even if I don't agree with them.
05. Respectful - I try to keep every sort of interaction in a level of respect and politeness.
10. What do you think are your top five worst qualities? 01. Procrastinator - I find myself often doing pointless or unrelated things when I should be doing something concstructive or necessary.
02. Competitive - Mostly in the academic field.
03. Lazy - It's connected to the procrastination part up there.
04. Easily scared - Be it real dangers or supernatural stuff, from spiders to syringes, I'm afraid of a lot of things...
05. Immature - I've lived kind of a very "safe" life, so I lack experience in many aspects of life, relationships being the most prominent one.
the series
11. Who is your favorite character in the Percy Jackson series? Annabeth, without a doubt. I love her character, how she's intelligent and decided in everything she does, but still flawed. She's a very strong person in spite of all she's been through, or precisely because of it.
12. Who is your least favorite character in the Percy Jackson series? Tantalus for being so mean (Rick Riordan did a great job making him that horrible), and Hera for her ideas and standards regarding what should be perfection in a family.
13. If you could spend a day with one of the Percy Jackson characters, who would you choose and why? The Golden Trio: Percy, Annabeth and Grover. They're so much fun, I'd love to have them around. And even though they'd attract some monsters, I know they could deal with them.
14. What is something you would change about the series? I wish we could have seen more of the kids from the other cabins, and that Thalia had taken part in the last battle against Luke. I always thought it was very silly to have her trapped under a rock while everything happened, it feels very anticlimatic for her character. It's almost as if R.R: had written the whole finalscene and then suddenly reembered he'd forgoten her, so he just put her there to solve the problem.
15. What is something you would never change about the series? Percy and Annabeth's story, even though there were a couple of times when I wished Rachel out of the picture sooner :P
etc
16. Pick a fictional character from any book/movie/tv show/etc. Which cabin would you place them in and more importantly why? I't s kind of obvious, and surely cliche, but I'd place Hermione Granger in the Athena Cabin. She used to be my favorite character ever, till Annabeth took her place. In fact, at first I thought of Annabeth as a more human version of Hermione, of whom we never know much about besides being smart. I think she fits there, except she's not very athleltic, I guess.
17. Which god do you feel the least likeness towards? Hera. Like I said before, I can't stand her ideas of what a family should be.
